Tim,
My comments are (mostly) tongue-in-cheek.
I know you've got some deep experience in both flying and competition as well as with both gas and electric. And I have no doubts that electric is better for certain things. For example, if I ever do a WWI twin (or tri-motor) it'll be be electric. As far as your electric B-25, I'm sure the model is stunning and that flying it is as exciting as it gets. But the electric motor itself? No, I will never have a desire to fondle a brushless motor the way I do a gas engine. I just can't get excited about a coil of wire.
As you know I'm a bit of a purist. Honestly, I love the smoke and the fumes and the smell and the oil and, oh my, that sound! REAL PLANES have real engines.
It some convoluted way I actually like knowing that I might find myself in an engine-out situation just like the the pilots back in WWI. Electric might be the inevitable future of RC but it'll be a sad day indeed when gas-powered RC models are a thing of the past something "grampa used to fly."
Sound modules? I'd much rather have an an historically inaccurate REAL sound than a totally scale FAKE sound.

PS. You'll have an extra hard time convincing me today since I got the Cub's engine purring along and ticking over like a clock at 2800. When engines are working they are pure joy!
try it dont say its no good
Next time I have an extra $500-600 or so to invest in a 50-class electric motor, suitable ESC, LIPO batteries, suitable charger, and assorted "electric accessories," I'll give it a try.
